A Real Bra!!!

Thrill of my life, for the first time in 2 weeks, I'm wearing my own bra!!

I had it on when I arrived at Adassa. I went down to Radiology to get the wires inserted and the ladies there told me that they were running late. I should go back and put on something more comfortable so I wore a tank top with a zip fleece jacket on top. Last time I wore the bra.

I put in on this morning instead of the squish-boobs sports bra I've been wearing. My incision is okay now.

But this is short-lived because once the radiation starts, I've been warned that it'll have to go again. I'm supposed to wear something cotton. Yeah right. Where am I supposed to find a cotton bra here??

I found a website selling gear for BC patients. Wish I had seen that earlier! Doubt they ship to France but I'm sure someone will oblige if I need to go that route.

I'm kind of hesitant to buy anything since I don't know how bad it'll be.

I talked to one of the gymnastics moms who isn't a nurse but works as an aide at the hospital (trained position here). She told me that it's not like I can take any cab. It has to be some sort of special ambulance/taxi service and I'll actually pay with my "Carte Vitale", issued to those on the French medical system. I'm sure I'll get more precise instructions on Friday.

I went by Radiology at Adassa and picked up my clichés without incident. I mumbled a few apologies along the way. Managed to dive out of there before anyone arrived. It's good now because I can send Francis the whole file of his own, without giving up mine.
